Kyoji certainly needs more content that doesn't involve him dying. I'll go ahead and fix this as soon as possible. XD

Surrogate father or not?
Isn't it odd that Kyoji is only Akira's surrogate father, if they both seem to share such a deep bond that Akira constantly calls him "father" and Kyoji always calls him his "son"? This probably has a deeper meaning.

While the presence of Akira's uncle implies that the anime's Gotous left Mount Oomine at some point and went to the city, it is also pretty odd, that while Akira's father from the manga is completely different from Kyoji, the Shugenja also seem to be almost entirely absent in the anime (again, excluding Akira's uncle, who clearly wears a Shugenja garb).

So, to summarize this, Akira and Kyoji have a bond that strongly implies, that they really are father and son and not just surrogates, but then anime also leaves questions, why the Gotous left Mount Oomine and why Akira's uncle is the only Shugenja left guarding Goki's grave.

Huh... This leaves more questions than answers. Even worse, the anime's story never reaches the point, where Akira might meet his real parents, as he never goes beyond Goki's level 1 form (although this level 1 Goki is able to use level 2 Goki's abilties and the Immovable Dragon Staff later on, despite still looking the same, while Akira's clothes do change in his human form).
